Louis Comfort Tiffany Bücher

Soon after its opening in 1837, Tiffany became one of the leading names in jewellery. This volume in the Fashion Memoir series displays the jewellery, trinkets and lamps by Louis Comfort Tiffany and the work of other famous artists and designers whose work has been showcased by the company, including Elsa Peretti and Paloma Picasso. The first American business to win a prize nominated by a European jury at the Paris World Exhibition in 1878, Tiffany has continued to occupy a unique place in contemporary design.

A stunning stained glass window becomes a lens through which to view the career of Louis Comfort Tiffany and intersecting arcs of art and design in America. The story of the Parakeets stained glass window - from national and international recognition to years of obscurity, followed by a return to the limelight - parallels the public reception of the art of its maker, Louis Comfort Tiffany, who had one of the most recognized names in American art at the turn of the twentieth century. It is a story of artistic ambition and experimentation, of nationalist pride and promotion, and of the capricious nature of public opinion and the art market. A careful study of the fabrication, imagery, and life of the window offers an intimate look into the legacy of Tiffany, as well as the nineteenth-century revival of the lesser-known medium of stained glass, which some argue was the United States' first major contribution to the international art world.
